Tier 3 data center accounted for majority share in terms of volume in 2023, and is expected to dominate through out the forecasted period

  • Tier 4 data centers lead the market in terms of tier capacity. Tier 4 data centers are expected to increase from 65.2 MW in 2023 to 226.7 MW by 2029 while recording a CAGR of 23.1%. The initial data centers constructed were small and had basic infrastructure facilities. These facilities were Tier 1&2, which served a minimal purpose and had fewer racks. Growing demand for smartphone applications by Polish users for various digitized services has led companies to opt for data centers housing more racks, better infrastructure facilities, better bandwidths, and lower downtime. This led the IT load capacity to increase from 23 MW in 2017 to 65.2 MW in 2023.
  • Tier 1&2 facilities witnessed a steady demand over the years and are expected to see steady growth over the coming years as well. Tier 1&2 facilities held a market share of 8% in 2017 and are expected to hold an 8% share in 2023 and 9% in 2029. On the other hand, the demand for Tier 4 facilities has gained traction as its market share increased gradually from 12.9% in 2017. It is expected to reach 26.8% and 37.7% in 2023 and 2029, respectively.
  • Nearly 24 facilities are configured under Tier 3 standards, which are majorly preferred by small, medium, and large data center facilities. Of these 24 facilities, 11 of them are located in Warsaw, which is one of the prime hotspots for data center facilities as it is the economic capital of the country.
  • The development of smart cities and connected network solutions have triggered the adoption of Tier 4 facilities. For instance, Tychy recently implemented a new intelligent transport system (ITS) that would help Poland monitor real-time traffic. Thus, to facilitate uninterrupted vigilance with assured uptime to process these huge amounts of data, Tier 3 and Tier 4 data center facilities are expected to grow proportionally.

Poland Data Center Market Trends

Increasing smartphone apps across end users and subsequent adoption of 5G smartphone devices leads to demand for data center

  • Smartphone usage in Poland has increased over the years, as evident from the rising smartphone penetration rate in the country. The smartphone penetration rate rose from around 60% in 2016 to about 86% in 2021, accounting for a significant increase in the country's overall smartphone usage and the evolution of its network portfolio. The smartphone penetration rate is further expected to grow to about 88% by 2025.
  • The network evolution has played a vital role in enhancing the user experience offered by different smartphone apps across end users and purposes. With the introduction of 5G in 2020 by prominent service providers, the improved data transmission rates and processing power in smartphones contributed to the increase in smartphone adoption, in turn driving the growth for tier 3 and tier 4 data center facilities for uninterrupted computational and storage service. In 2020, the Office of Electronic Communications reported an increase of 21.06 Mbps in the average download speed of a mobile application across internet providers in Poland, which rose to 34.82 Mbps in 2021 and 41.7 Mbps in 2022. The significant increase in 2021 can be attributed to the introduction of 5G and the subsequent adoption of 5G smartphone devices to leverage the new technology, which resulted in higher transmission rates.
  • Active mobile phone ownership rates also shape smartphone penetration and sales in the country. About 51.6 million SIM cards were active in Poland in 2018, compared to about 56.6. million active SIM card owners in 2021. This signifies the active participation of users in shaping the user base for data centers during the COVID-19 pandemic, which saw an increase in smartphone usage in Poland. End-user segments like e-commerce, which can be easily reached through smartphones, influenced the normalizing of smartphone use with an increment in the number of registered e-commerce stores in Poland, rising from about 36,600 stores in 2019 to nearly 55,000 in 2022. The increment reflects the growing preference of users to avail of these e-commerce services through convenient access points like smartphones, making their growth interdependent with data centers. Thus, as smartphone usage increases in the country, the demand for data centers to handle the generated data will also increase, contributing to the market's growth over the forecast period.

Increasing FTTP users and investment such as Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) towards broadband inclusion leads to the market growth

  • The increasing data consumption and demand for higher data transmission rates are driving the evolution of fixed internet usage in Poland. The fixed broadband penetration in the country increased from about 62% in 2019 to about 69% in 2021, getting closer and in line with the EU average of 78%. About 28% of Polish households in 2019 featured at least 100 Mbps fixed broadband take-up, compared to about 43% in 2021, which was in line with the EU average of 43%.
  • This growth in the average household broadband take-up is attributed to the country's higher preference for services like FTTP. Poland witnessed an increase in FTTP coverage from 44.6% in 2020 to about 51.9% in 2021. The urban take-up of the service was higher than the rural adoption, generating significant demand, as the rural coverage of the services remained at around 32.6% in 2021, with a moderate increase from the 24.1% registered in 2020. This signifies the deeper penetration of FTTP technology in the country, which is expected to generate more data-generating nodes and contribute to extensively generating data sets through the forecast period.
  • Despite the preference of the majority of the Polish population to find faster yet normal speeds for data consumption, the deeper penetration and infrastructural development of broadband services are already attracting investments from the Polish government through funds like the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) contributing about EUR 2 billion to add to the broadband inclusion of more than 1.5 million households. Such factors are expected to facilitate faster data transmission and lay the foundation for a highly potent fiber network in Poland, connecting data centers with edge computing stations such as internet exchanges and telecommunication service providers.

Keyword Definition
Rack Unit Generally referred as U or RU, it is the unit of measurement for the server unit housed in the racks in the data center. 1U is equal to 1.75 inches.
Rack Density It defines the amount of power consumed by the equipment and server housed in a rack. It is measured in kilowatt (kW). This factor plays a critical role in data center design and, cooling and power planning.
IT Load Capacity The IT load capacity or installed capacity, refers to the amount of energy consumed by servers and network equipment placed in a rack installed. It is measured in megawatt (MW).
Absorption Rate It denotes how much of the data center capacity has been leased out. For instance, if a 100 MW DC has leased out 75 MW, then the absorption rate would be 75%. It is also referred to as utilization rate and leased-out capacity.
Raised Floor Space It is an elevated space built over the floor. This gap between the original floor and the elevated floor is used to accommodate wiring, cooling, and other data center equipment. This arrangement assists in having proper wiring and cooling infrastructure. It is measured in square feet/meter.
Computer Room Air Conditioner (CRAC) It is a device used to monitor and maintain the temperature, air circulation, and humidity inside the server room in the data center.
Aisle It is the open space between the rows of racks. This open space is critical for maintaining the optimal temperature (20-25 °C) in the server room. There are primarily two aisles inside the server room, a hot aisle and a cold aisle.
Cold Aisle It is the aisle wherein the front of the rack faces the aisle. Here, chilled air is directed into the aisle so that it can enter the front of the racks and maintain the temperature.
Hot Aisle It is the aisle where the back of the racks faces the aisle. Here, the heat dissipated from the equipment’s in the rack is directed to the outlet vent of the CRAC.
Critical Load It includes the servers and other computer equipment whose uptime is critical for data center operation.
Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) It is a metric which defines the efficiency of a data center. It is calculated by: (𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎 𝐶𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝐸𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑦 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑢𝑚𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛)/(𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐼𝑇 𝐸𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑝𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐸𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑦 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑢𝑚𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛). Further, a data center with a PUE of 1.2-1.5 is considered highly efficient, whereas, a data center with a PUE >2 is considered highly inefficient.
Redundancy It is defined as a system design wherein additional component (UPS, generators, CRAC) is added so that in case of power outage, equipment failure, the IT equipment should not be affected.
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) It is a device that is connected in series with the utility power supply, storing energy in batteries such that the supply from UPS is continuous to IT equipment even during utility power is snapped. The UPS primarily supports the IT equipment only.
Generators Just like UPS, generators are placed in the data center to ensure an uninterrupted power supply, avoiding downtime. Data center facilities have diesel generators and commonly, 48-hour diesel is stored in the facility to prevent disruption.
N It denotes the tools and equipment required for a data center to function at full load. Only "N" indicates that there is no backup to the equipment in the event of any failure.
N+1 Referred to as 'Need plus one', it denotes the additional equipment setup available to avoid downtime in case of failure. A data center is considered N+1 when there is one additional unit for every 4 components. For instance, if a data center has 4 UPS systems, then for to achieve N+1, an additional UPS system would be required.
2N It refers to fully redundant design wherein two independent power distribution system is deployed. Therefore, in the event of a complete failure of one distribution system, the other system will still supply power to the data center.
In-Row Cooling It is the cooling design system installed between racks in a row where it draws warm air from the hot aisle and supplies cool air to the cold aisle, thereby maintaining the temperature.
Tier 1 Tier classification determines the preparedness of a data center facility to sustain data center operation. A data center is classified as Tier 1 data center when it has a non-redundant (N) power component (UPS, generators), cooling components, and power distribution system (from utility power grids). The Tier 1 data center has an uptime of 99.67% and an annual downtime of <28.8 hours.
Tier 2 A data center is classified as Tier 2 data center when it has a redundant power and cooling components (N+1) and a single non-redundant distribution system. Redundant components include extra generators, UPS, chillers, heat rejection equipment, and fuel tanks. The Tier 2 data center has an uptime of 99.74% and an annual downtime of <22 hours.
Tier 3 A data center having redundant power and cooling components and multiple power distribution systems is referred to as a Tier 3 data center. The facility is resistant to planned (facility maintenance) and unplanned (power outage, cooling failure) disruption. The Tier 3 data center has an uptime of 99.98% and an annual downtime of <1.6 hours.
Tier 4 It is the most tolerant type of data center. A Tier 4 data center has multiple, independent redundant power and cooling components and multiple power distribution paths. All IT equipment are dual powered, making them fault tolerant in case of any disruption, thereby ensuring interrupted operation. The Tier 4 data center has an uptime of 99.74% and an annual downtime of <26.3 minutes.
